Songwriter Lily Konigsberg ’16’s Lifelong Journey to Unconventional Pop Perfection

Best known as one-third of Palberta—the anarchic pop-rock group formed with fellow Bardians Ani Ivry-Block ’15 and Nina Ryser ’15—the 26-year-old songwriter steps out on her own with The Best of Lily Konigsberg Right Now, a solo compilation that brings together three of Konigsberg’s pop-leaning solo EPs and a handful of previously unreleased songs. “On first listen, the collection stands up as a debut album in its own right, showcasing Konigsberg’s breadth as a pop songwriter, from the rich a cappella harmonies of ‘Rock and Sin’ to the bubblegum throb of ‘It’s Just Like All the Clouds’ to the pretty, carefree-sounding folk of ‘Roses,’” writes Alex Robert Ross in Fader. “But the story of Konigsberg’s growth as a songwriter and a person is buried beneath the tracklist.”
